3. Cronkite earned his anchor job and wasn't a suck up |
|
I watched Walter Cronkite. Walter Cronkite was a ficture in our household. Katie Couric is no Walter Cronkite.

Couric is a whore, Cronkite was a NEWS reporter who had integrity, something Couric will never have.
HUGE difference.

17. No way in hell - there is no comparison |
|
Walter Cronkite is in a totally different league from Katie Couric. Couric's voice is irritating, grating. Her hair is always in her face. She asks stupid questions.
She is not a journalist, nor is she a reporter. She is too shallow.
If CBS wants to get viewers back, this is not the way to go. To attract and retain new viewers, perhaps CBS should start reporting ALL sides of the story, accurately, honestly, and in depth. That might attract some new viewers who aren't finding this elsewhere.
How about THAT for a clever new idea?

Remember how Cronkite used to squeal with delight over interviewing movie stars and how he used to play with wooden spoons when he did a yogurt salad dressing segment? I mean, Katie can go from a fashionable poodle skirt to a safari jacket in a nanosecond. What more would she need to be a newsy heavyweight?
